was just watching Messiah and suppose it's not far from reality when Jesus was alive.
One thing completely skipped in the story, though, is that so many people somehow believe they're worth to be saved. How can that be?
Let's say you're a normal person, never steal or lie too big, donate to poor and follow God's laws whenever it's convenient.
But, there are billions of humans out there - much more than the numbers of rats, dolphins and turtles, with extremely short lifespan of no more than 100 years. Not to mention most humans leave no footprint in civilization except tons of garbage and CO2, and everything you do in your entire life can be duplicated or surpassed by another in just a few decades.
What does those make you? Certainly not unique, not special, no better than a monkey in lab or an ant in colony, or some single cell creature. You could die today, a few (out of 7 billions) would weep, then they'd die too and all would be forgotten.
God has billions of kids just like that. So why would he help you with your stupid problems at all? Why not just sit and wait for next human to be born and grow up in a blink of time, who might end up something greater? In fact, why would he even want to listen or watch? Humans come and go everyday, like tree leaves falling off - who would bother to check that?
